Who made this

Teivaer made this in Kyoto, the day before Reivaes died. Her son, Kaito, the younger, is from her years with Thrukor. Her son, Kai, is from her years with Vrukor. Her twin children, Kaito, the elder and Kaede, are from her years with Thraeza, whom she has also lost. At Reivaes's funeral she said: "You reached toward me." This is one of nine pictures she has made, beside one piece.
